Thousands of stores will donate money to our PTAevery time you shop online! Simply follow this link to go the the Give as Live page, follow the easy set-up instructions, then it's time to go shopping and raise money for the school!

Phil the Bag is a brilliant recycling initiative, whereby the school receives money in exchange for unwanted clothes, bags, shoes, and other textiles, which are then sold on and distributed to people who can benefit from them in developing countries. Every time we arrange a collection, each pupil will receive a special 'Phil' the Bag sack to fill with used clothes, household linen, etc. We aim to organise a collection two to three times a year, which means you can start putting things aside at home any time. It’s an easy way to raise money for the school, help others, and reduce the burden from landfill on our environment.​

This company provides labels for everything from pencils to shoes and they will give 10% of all sales to the PTA. Follow this link to Name It Labels and select 'MPL' before you submit your order.....Thanks!

Joining the PTA....

Every parent or carer of a child at Mount Pleasant Lane School is automatically a member of the P.T.A. and is welcome to join the committee. New members who wish to join can be voted onto the committee at the P.T.A.'s Annual General Meeting held in July or September, but are welcome to attend committee meetings throughout the year. All current committee members are approachable and can be found on the playground at school collection if you would like to attend the next meeting. Please see newsletter for contacting members of the PTA.

What does the PTA do?

The P.T.A. raises funds by holding events such as the annual Christmas Bazaar and Summer Fete. We also host social functions like Quizzes, Family Bingo Evenings, Discos, Kid’s on the Catwalk, Summer Fun Days, and Barn Dances etc. These events are not only great fun but also raise money for the benefit of the school.

The money raised by the P.T.A. has been used to help finance the ICT Suite, purchase playground equipment, picnic tables, sports medals, football kit, books and much more. As well as these purchases teachers have wish lists that we try to accommodate.

The P.T.A also organises and finances the children's Christmas parties and discos.
